Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

In front of the Treasure Pavilion, Lin Shiyi, Lin Houwei, and Lin Houxuan three were growing anxious as the time had already surpassed their expectations by over an hour.

Logically, with fewer stalls for Foundation Establishment cultivators, things should have been faster.

Fortunately, at the next moment, Lin Shiming's figure appeared before everyone.

"I was delayed by some matters, I've kept Uncle Thirteen, Uncle Fifteen, and Second Brother waiting," Lin Shiming apologized with a fist cupped in his hand.

"How could we think that way, Family Head!" Lin Houxuan immediately spoke up as well.

"Let's go, let's have a look around the Treasure Pavilion. It is directly under the Qingxuan Sect, and among the many shops, it's the most symbolic!" Lin Shiming began to introduce, then led everyone into the first floor of the Treasure Pavilion.

The Treasure Pavilion still employed the model of having female cultivators behind counters, and upon entering, the faces of Lin Shiming and his companions lit up with smiles.

Returning to this place, what moved Lin Shiming even more than these female cultivators was the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion.

The second floor held Third Rank treasures, while the third floor held Fourth Rank treasures.

It was said that the Treasure Pavilion also had a fourth floor, but whether it housed Fifth Rank treasures remained unknown.

But for him, the second floor was a place he had been curious about over a decade ago, yet now he could enter at will.

Lin Houwei and the others stopped on the first floor, while Lin Shiming went up to the second floor alone.

Upon reaching the second floor, unlike the first floor which had four counters, what came into view was a larger counter.

In front of the counter, a Foundation Establishment female cultivator was attending to several other Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Lin Shiming wasn't in a hurry, looking around. The second floor was clearly less spacious, and each shelf displayed various spirit weapons, but at a glance, they were all Third Rank Inferior Grade Spiritual Objects, with few Third Rank Intermediate Grade ones openly displayed.

Once the cultivators in front had made their selection without concluding a transaction, Lin Shiming stepped forward.

The beautiful female cultivator handed Lin Shiming a Jade Slip:

"Fellow Daoist, have a look, this is our Treasure Pavilion's treasure catalog!"

Lin Shiming felt a sense of novelty, then also immersed his Divine Sense into the Jade Slip, only to see a vast listing of treasures, each item detailing its features, flaws, and price.

They were supplemented with pictures and Spirit Patterns.

The categories ranged from Spirit Talismans, Spirit Pills, Array Plates, and Spiritual Artifacts, to even Cultivation Techniques.

No wonder the Treasure Pavilion did such booming business.

However, after a full look around, he didn't find any Third Rank Superior Grade Spiritual Objects.

Seeing Lin Shiming looking over, the sweet female cultivator then smiled and said:

"Fellow Daoist, if you wish to purchase Third Rank Superior Grade treasures, you need to verify your assets!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Shiming nodded in acknowledgment, but he didn't continue with the asset verification and instead continued to look through the Jade Slip.

Within the Jade Slip, he first searched for thunder attribute Cultivation Techniques, this was for his clan member Lin Shilei.

However, just a glance and he found even Profound Rank Superior Grade thunder attribute Cultivation Techniques cost a hundred thousand Spirit Stones, much more expensive than ordinary Five Elements Attribute Cultivation Techniques, and as for Profound Rank, he didn't even see any.

Immediately, his enthusiasm waned, and he turned his attention to the Spiritual Objects.

As expected, he didn't find the tempting grass either, and although he was prepared for this, he still felt slightly disappointed.

At last, his interest was piqued by an item of treasure; his eyes were captivated by a set of snow-white silver needles.

The silver needles were named Frost Bee Piercing Blood Needles!

They were forged using the stingers of Frost Bees, a Third Rank Intermediate Grade Magic Artifact, consisting of a set of seven needles and considered a secret treasure for surprise attacks.

They were not only stealthy in an ambush, but also had the effect of sealing the throat upon drawing blood.

However, the sight of the Spirit Stones made Lin Shiming frown deeply, thirty-two thousand Spirit Stones.

But considering that there might be a great war in the coming five years, Lin Shiming finally gritted his teeth and made the purchase.

Next, he spent fifty thousand Spirit Stones and bought three Spirit Talismans, and then he walked down from the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion.

"Fellow Daoist, two days before the auction, there will be a Foundation Establishment exchange meeting. If you have nothing else planned, you might want to participate. It's all about exchanging items for items. Seeing that you've frowned a few times, it seems you're in urgent need of certain spiritual objects!"

The beautiful female cultivator took out a token and handed it to Lin Shiming; on the token, there was only a single character: treasure.

"Very well, thank you, fairy. If Shiming is not otherwise detained, he will certainly attend!" Lin Shiming nodded and walked down the stairs without looking back.

Lin Shiyi and Lin Houwei were still looking at the treasures for Lin Houxuan, who was in the Spirit Pill section, constantly checking various Spirit Pills and verifying the gap between his own alchemy skills and those behind the scenes of the Treasure Pavilion.

Lin Houwei had already made his purchase, and upon inquiry, it was learned that he had spent sixty thousand Spirit Stones on ten jars of Second Rank Supreme Grade Spiritual Wine!

In the end, Lin Houxuan bought some rare alchemy materials, while Lin Shiyi bought Body Cultivation pills for Body Refinement.

After finishing their tour, they returned to Laiyue Tower to refine their treasures.

Lin Shiming took out the Spirit Root of the Golden Thunder Bamboo; he wanted to determine if the Spirit Root of the Golden Thunder Bamboo could be revived. Although this was prompted by the system, testing was still necessary.

He took out the Jade Box containing the Spirit Root of the Golden Thunder Bamboo, and upon opening it, he saw countless golden electric arcs jumping inside the box.

Thunderous phenomenons emerged intermittently, and even on the Spirit Roots, there were faint golden Thunder Patterns flickering.

As usual, Lin Shiming took out Spirit Soil, but this was not ordinary Second Rank Spirit Soil, but Third Rank Spirit Soil for planting Minor Divine Ability trees.

He placed the bamboo node into the Spirit Soil, then poured in Third Rank Spirit Water and Nurturing Spirit Liquid, and finally infused it with the True Yuan from the Purple Wood Heart Sutra.

So it went, for three consecutive days, Lin Shiming remained motionless in his cave abode, until at a certain moment, he suddenly noticed a hint of green sprouting on the nodes of the Golden Thunder Bamboo.

At that moment, it was as if he heard the sound of spring thunder, a vibrant vitality spreading within the Spirit Soil.

"Indeed!" Lin Shiming was overjoyed, becoming more confident in the latent Spiritual Body he seemed to possess. However, to activate the Spiritual Body, he would need to wait for his breakthrough to the Purple Mansion.

But now, he was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and he had no idea when he would break through to the middle stage!

Lin Shiming put away the Golden Thunder Bamboo and decided not to continue cultivating it. Instead, he took out the Sanguinary Bee Blood Needle and began to refine it.

That very night, he suddenly noticed that a token started to shine with Spirit Light.

Upon opening it, it was the token given by the female cultivator of Foundation Establishment from the Treasure Pavilion. At this moment, a line of words appeared on the token.

Peaceful Street Number Sixteen, second floor!

This location was found in Lin Shiming's memory to be behind the Treasure Pavilion.

After a brief contemplation, Lin Shiming used a Sound Transmission Talisman to inform Lin Yuzheng and Lin Houxuan, and then decided to attend once.

Not to mention that this was his first participation in a Foundation Establishment convention, but the purpose of his visit to Qingyun City was only for Attracting Demon Grass, thereafter to cultivate Spirit-Ant-Eating Ants.

As for mature ants, they are incredibly aggressive and beyond his control, even with a Spirit Contract in place, these demonic ants would self-destruct.

Lin Shiming arrived at the rear of the Treasure Pavilion following the directions, where there was a small courtyard. At the entrance of the courtyard, two Qi Cultivation late stage cultivators stood guard:

"May I ask if the senior is here to participate in the Foundation Establishment minor meeting?" asked the two cultivators.

"Indeed!" Lin Shiming nodded, took out his token, and handed it to them. To his surprise, he saw the two cultivators also take out a set of black veils from their Storage Bags.

"Senior, this is a Spirit Concealing Veil, which can block the divine sense probing of cultivators at the Perfection stage of Foundation Establishment. It can be rented for one hundred Spirit Stones!"

Upon seeing this, Lin Shiming contemplated for a moment, not about the Spirit Stones, but about this minor Foundation Establishment meeting.

Needing to use the Spirit Concealing Veil, it seemed likely that some items being exchanged might belong to unsavory origins!
